Being at a legacy company must feel like a clusterf*ck of emotions right now. Optimism: collection of moats earned over time (brand/trust, proprietary data, network effects) that disruptors haven't yet accumulated. it's a huge unfair advantage. Frustration: roll out of AI tools feels sluggish, turning a cruise ship on a dime feels painful, and there's not nearly enough urgency to become AI-native before disruptors eat our lunch. Fear: it feels like AI transformation will take us 5-10 years, but do we have the luxury of that much time before we lose our market position?

Being in school must be insane right now Extreme case being: “Hey Muse here's my school portal username and password, go ahead and log-in and complete all my assignments and projects for me” Pen and paper are definitely making a comeback

being financially comfortable is enough for me. I don't need to be the richest; I just want to always be able to eat what I want, go where I want, pay my bills on time, and provide a good life for my children.
